Abstract
An ink jet recording apparatus with plural full-line type recording heads has a heat pipe associated with each recording head. The heat pipes are connected together at a common portion in various ways, such as by a heat-conductive block, one or more additional heat pipes or a container with a heat transferring liquid medium. Such an arrangement enables more efficient and compact temperature control of the recording heads.
